Aside from Charles' decision not to include his youngest son in the festivities, William's cronies made it clear that Spare greatly impacted the siblings' relationship.
“Would you want to sit down for a slap-up Christmas lunch with someone who had basically called you an a--------- in public?" the source asked.

"How would you feel if your best friend decided to reveal all your personal secrets to the newspapers?" they questioned. "Well, multiply that by a thousand."
In a January interview, Harry demanded his loved ones say "sorry" publicly, but people close to the Windsors don't envision that happening.
"Harry is never going to apologize, at least not while he is married to Meghan, and William is never going to apologize either. So that’s that," they concluded.
Sources spoke to The Daily Beast.
The guest list was published by ITV.com.
